Incredible Rajasthan with Taj Mahal Tour

This is a long, thorough loop through Rajasthan, starting and ending in Delhi and taking in the desert towns, holy cities and fort towns that make up the region's history over nineteen days.

You move steadily from Mandawa's painted havelis to the desert city of Bikaner, on to Jaisalmer and the fort at Jodhpur, then the pilgrimage towns of Pushkar and Ajmer, before Jaipur and its palaces. The route closes with Fatehpur Sikri and a sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal.

It's a fully guided group trip, so the logistics are handled for you, leaving you free to take in the forts, temples and markets along the way.
